Description:
Kama vs Yama is a lively and thought-provoking story from mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik, part of the Fun in Devlok series that brings Hindu mythology delightfully to life for children. Jayshree is an unusual girl — she actually loves doing her homework. One day, however, she discovers a strange man in her garden: Kama, the god of desire and pleasure, who was rendered invisible by an angry Shiva long ago and can now only be seen by Jayshree. Kama tries to tempt her into setting her books aside and having fun instead — making butterflies appear, bees buzz, and the garden burst into fragrant bloom. But then Yama, the stern god of death and duty, arrives and insists work must always come first. The two gods square off in a delightful argument — and Jayshree must decide. Recommended for readers aged 6 and above.
